HEADS UP! WE ARE AIMING TO BE OPEN JAN. 28 & 29TH

25/1/2017

HMCS OJIBWA is planning to be open Saturday & Sunday Jan 28 & 29. We are in the process of confirming staff so check back later in the week to confirm.

Our hours will be noon till 4:00.

Dress WARMLY as there is minimal heat on the boat. We find hand warmers a great asset.
Think of it as your chance to experience what it was like in the winter in the North Atlantic!!! 
Seriously - Ojibwa is phenomenal at any time!

As always, opening in the winter is subject to weather i.e.,- being snowed out rather than snowed in!

Dramatic Autumn Skies 

10/10/2016

1 Comment

 
A great autumn day at the Submarine.  It was one of those days where the sky was a deep bright blue and the puffy white clouds hung low over Lake Erie and occasionally black clouds floated through the white ones - very dramatic and beautiful. The trees are just beginning to turn here and the drive down was lovely because the green trees were punctuated with bright colour but it was clear that it was just beginning and winter is a long way off. The fields around Port Burwell are full of pumpkins and squash. The wind was from the south today so there weren't many birds about - except for seagulls.

New HMCS Ojibwa Museum website

9/9/2016

1 Comment

 
At last the new website with a focus on HMCS Ojibwa as part of a Museum is now up and will replace the old Project Ojibwa website which can no longer be updated. This new platform is not all that we hoped it would be but time ran out on what our Summer Assistant could accomplish and this platform does do things such as videos that we could not do before.  We hope you enjoy it and can bear with us through the remainder of the transformation. The new Elgin Military Museum website should be available early next week.  Find the new site at www.hmcsojibwamuseum.ca

Now you Know

Submariners were originally dismissed as 'pirates' by Royal Navy brass because of their sneaky and very un-British ability to hide under the sea - not sporting don't you know! While the Silent Service still struggles for recognition because of the nature of their tasking (i.e., spying in various forms), they quickly proved their value during WW I and the first subs back into port after a successful mission, proudly flew the Jolly Roger. Thereafter, pirate rig (dressing for the less than savoury environment of a submarine) and hoisting the Jolly Roger has become a firm tradition. HMCS Ojibwa is taking a leaf out of that book and proudly hoisting the Jolly Roger whenever a submariner is at the boat.
